Earth is about 93 million miles from the Sun but only 239,000 miles from the Moon. Likewise, the Sun has a mass that is over 20

million times that of the Moon. Earth experiences a strong gravitational attraction to both of these bodies, but for two different reasons. Using what you know about the factors that influence gravity, what specific characteristic or characteristics contribute to the attraction between Earth and the Moon? What specific characteristic or characteristics contribute to the attraction between Earth and the Sun?

Answer:

Gravity is dependent on the mass of two bodies and the distance between them. There is a strong gravitational attraction between Earth and the Moon because they’re relatively close to one another. There is a strong gravitational attraction between Earth and the Sun because the Sun is so massive

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf Gabi \ had \ greater \ displacement}}

Explanation:

Displacement is the change in the position of an object.

Abigail runs a complete lap around the track, which is 400 meters. Even though she ran 400 meters, she has <u>no displacement.</u> If she starts and ends at the same spot, there is no change in position.

Gabi runs a 50 meter dash in a straight line. Gabi has <u>50 meters of displacement</u>. She runs in a straight line and is 50 meters away from where she began.

While Abigail ran the farther distance, <u>Gabi had the greater displacement.</u>

A 3.0 kg object moving 8.0 m/s in the positive x direction has a one-dimensional elastic collision with an object (mass = M) ini
finlep [7]
<h2>Option 2 is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Elastic collision means kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.

Let the mass of object be m and M.

Initial velocity object 1 be u₁,  object 2 be u₂

Final velocity object 1 be v₁,  object 2 be v₂

Initial momentum = m x u₁ + M x u₂ = 3 x 8 + M x 0 = 24 kgm/s

Final momentum = m x v₁ + M x v₂ = 3 x v₁ + M x 6 = 3v₁ + 6M

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 m x u₁² + 0.5 M x u₂² = 0.5 x 3 x 8² + 0.5 x M x 0² = 96 J

Final kinetic energy = 0.5 m x v₁² + 0.5 M x v₂² = 0.5 x 3 x v₁² + 0.5 x M x 6² = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M

We have

            Initial momentum = Final momentum

            24 = 3v₁ + 6M

            v₁ + 2M = 8

             v₁ = 8 - 2M

            Initial kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy

            96 = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M

            v₁² + 12 M = 64

Substituting  v₁ = 8 - 2M

           (8 - 2M)² + 12 M = 64    

           64 - 32M + 4M² + 12 M = 64    

            4M² = 20 M

               M = 5 kg

Option 2 is the correct answer.
